--- Quote from: Threaders on December 17, 2011, 10:27 AM ---Cheers Bendycat. But how did you manage to work in the tight areas around the hubs?? I was using wet and dry wrapped round a knife blade, but it took ages :daumenhoch:
was there a specific tool you used??

--- End quote ---

A Razor - Stanley blade with a steady hand - sand/glass paper coned up to a point - just working slowly and not rushing it - the end result is better for not seeing it as a race but like the old cowboys whittling away  ;D

time is you friend and inpatients is a spoiler of good things  ;)

russ j:
a great result there matey  :daumenhoch:

The nitromoors that's available in the shops now isn't as potent as the stuff before,for some reason the producers of the stuff 'tamed' it down  :idiot2: f**k nows why??

I did a set of Blue Skyways a few mths ago that wern't as bad as your reds but where a right pain in the arse to refurb anyway...

My Blue set,



I've done both wheels now but not taken any photos as of yet

Russ....

Threaders:
Wise words from bendycat there :)
and those blue tuffs look awesome. Patience is definatly whats needed and I will try the razor blade approach over the next few days. Thanks for the comments and support :daumenhoch: will post finished pics before Crimbo.
